Li Chengqian also didn't understand.
What do these guys think?
Could it be that he invited these people to come to his home to fight and cause trouble?
Or maybe they think that they can prove their ability by fighting in front of them?
Maybe they thought so.
But Li Chengqian didn't think so.
In his opinion, only the lowest level of warriors would be influenced by outsiders and behave irrationally.
Similarly, in his opinion, truly strong people disdain to compete with others.
Furthermore, is the martial arts department of the imperial court just to recruit some reckless men?
If this is the case, why should they choose among the civilians instead of choosing directly among the military?
You must know that what the Tang Dynasty really lacked and wanted was a commander who could command thousands of troops, and generals who charged into battle came second.
Just like Xue Li and Xue Rengui, his skills need no elaboration.
But what was he like in Prince Qin's Mansion these days?
Not to mention Little Transparent, but no one has noticed his existence.
Xue Li's day consists of running to the training ground to practice all the events in the morning before everyone gets up.
After breakfast, he would go into the study, pick up a book he liked, and then find a corner to read by himself for the whole day.
After everyone has rested at night, he will find a quiet place to sit for a while.
This may seem boring and uninteresting, just like ordinary people, but this is his day.
But Li Chengqian believes that this is what a strong man should look like.
After all, whether it is martial arts or military, it is never about fighting and killing.
Practicing martial arts is to understand some principles from martial arts that others do not understand.
The military is a competition in many aspects such as intelligence and so on.
Just relying on fists and kicks, at best, you can only become a more powerful veteran.
Li Chengqian looked at the people in front of him and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I……"
"I don't want to either."
Luo Jiashu said bluntly: "It's just that Xia is bullying people too much. It's obviously our group who wants to practice wrestling in the sandpit today."
"But when this guy saw you coming, he had to change his team with us..."
"I didn't agree, so he kept making sarcastic remarks. I couldn't bear it anymore, so he just wanted to..."
Speaking of this, Luo Jiashu lowered his head in shame: "His words are so unpleasant, I really can't bear it anymore."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also laughed angrily.
"Yeah."
"What a shame."
As he said that, he turned to look at Xia Jinhui and said, "Is what he said true?"
"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, what he said is all nonsense."
Xia Jinhui cupped his hands towards Li Chengqian and said, "A few days ago, their group was practicing wrestling in the sandpit yesterday, but we haven't been to the sandpit for seven days."
"It was also at the request of my brothers today that I thought of coming over to change with them."
"But these people, relying on the fact that they have a few brothers in their group who can fight, bully the market and don't allow us to come over."
"I'm not convinced, so I just brought someone over to argue with him."
"I admit the swearing, but I also hope that His Highness can discern the details and see clearly the face of this guy named Luo."
Xia Jinhui knelt down on one knee, raised his hands to Li Chengqian again and said: "If His Highness wants to punish me, punish me alone. It has nothing to do with the brothers in my group..."
"Quite responsible."
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "That's all, I don't want to interfere with your affairs, and I don't want to ask about it."
"But in one sentence, you all heard me clearly."
"I said before, I don't care what happens outside of here."
"But if you want to stay well here, you have to follow my rules."
"And no fighting or making trouble is allowed. This is what I have stipulated in advance."
"But you two went up against the wind today. Not only did you break my rules, but you also gave everyone a bad start."
Li Chengqian put his hands behind his back and said, "Therefore, there must be an explanation for what happened today."
Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian raised his hand and snapped his fingers, looked up at the surrounding Qianziying soldiers, and said, "Who is in charge here?"
After hearing his words, a young man in armor ran out of the crowd.
He ran straight to Li Chengqian, knelt down on one knee and intervened: "It is the last general's responsibility to report back to Your Highness."
Li Chengqian lowered his head and looked: "Is it you?"
This person is not someone else.
It was Duan Zhixuan's eldest son, Duan Zan, who now served as a military commander in Li Chengqian's Qianzi camp.
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Duan Zan clasped his fists at him again: "It's the last general."
"OK."
"Since we are acquaintances, it will be easy to handle."
Li Chengqian looked at Duan Zan and said, "Today, these people caused trouble under your supervision. Do you think I should punish you?"
"yes!"
Duan Zan responded without any hesitation.
"Then are you convinced?"
Li Chengqian asked again.
"Of course I'm convinced..."
Duan Zan said: "General, I didn't take good care of myself today. No wonder others. Your Highness wants to punish me, but I am willing to be punished..."
"Well!"
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Come on, knock this person down on the ground with as much as fifty military sticks."
Hearing this, everyone around was shocked.
What's happening here?
It was clearly Luo Jiashu and Xia Jinhui who made the mistake, why should Duan Zan be punished?
Shouldn't these two people be kicked out?
Luo Jiashu and Xia Jinhui were also a little confused.
Then, it was Xia Jinhui who stood up and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you cannot punish General Duan. This is all our fault. If you want to punish us, then punish us."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Jiashu also stood up and said: "This matter has nothing to do with General Duan. It is our fault. If you want to kill or behead him, come at us."
During these days, Duan Zan was responsible for their daily life.
The relationship between men is nothing more than a cigarette and a bottle of wine.
These people have already had contacts with Duan Zan.
At this moment, seeing their friends being punished for themselves, how could they accept it?
"Who do you think you are?"
"To punish you, are you qualified?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "At least, you haven't yet."
"You are not my subordinates, let alone my brothers."
"I have no right to interrogate you, let alone punish you..."
"But he's different."
Li Chengqian raised his finger and pointed at Duan Zan, saying: "He is one of my people, and if he fails to take good care of you, it is a serious crime, so he must be punished."
With that said, Li Chengqian slowly turned around and said, "And you just count the boards for me honestly here. When you have hit fifty, you can leave on your own."
After saying this, Li Chengqian didn't care what everyone's expressions were, and walked straight past a few people and walked out of the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.
Xue Li couldn't help but sigh when he heard the muffled banging sound starting to come from behind him.
He looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of hurting General Duan's heart by doing this?"
"Break his heart?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled.
Then, he said slowly: "Maybe this guy is thanking me from the bottom of his heart for letting me beat him today..."
